Enshrinement Week at the Pro Football Hall of Fame is going to be quite the event this year. Not only will viewers see one class of players enter the Hall of Fame; NFL fans will be treated to two.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremony was postponed. As a result, the Hall of Famers will participate in the 2021 ceremony and claim their rightful spots in Canton.
Oh, also, that 2020 Hall of Fame class features 20 members in honor of the NFL's 100th birthday. So, in total, 28 players will be inducted into the Hall of Fame this weekend.
Never have we seen a Pro Football Hall of Fame class like this, nor are we likely to see one again any time soon. But who exactly are the 28 players, coaches and contributors entering the Hall of Fame? Here's a look at all 28 of them, headlined by the marquee man from the 2021 class, Peyton Manning.

What does it mean to be a Hall of Fame contributor?
A contributor, as defined by the Hall of Fame, is an individual who has "made outstanding contributions to professional football in capacities other than playing or coaching." The contributor role debuted in 2015 after the Hall of Fame formed a contributors committee in August of 2014.

Since the founding of the committee, 11 contributors have been selected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. They are as follows:
| Year | Inductee | Position |
